In these video tutorials, I normally use Bakels Premixes to save on time.
(Bakels is a bakery grade cake premix. Another great one is Allied Mills)

I use these butter based cakes above because they are sturdy under fondant and stable at room temperature, as are the muds.

Thanks guys for tuning in! This one was heavily requested so I'm glad I managed to finally whip up this tutorial x) And the results were very satisfying. Just watching that glaze ooze over the cakes, I was in awe haha. So definitely give this one a shot, now matter how intimidating it might look, it is waaaay easier than you think ;)

Thanks again guys for tuning in! I shall catch you again next Tuesday.

With love,
Rosie
